>>120144675Unfortunately, just the cover for now, since it's out at the end of February.

Also, Eris and Rudi look like such a wonderful couple in that Volume cover. Those Japs that only read novels are going to be shocked out of their minds when they reach the final chapters of that novel. lol

A smoldering fire, before a double bed of red satin sheets, tall windows beaming moonlight into the dimly lit room as rain patters on the glass panes.

Rudi is laying on the bed, emotionally exhausted, when in comes slinking in, little miss oujo-sama in a red silk nighty.

Her features are mostly hidden in shadows, as are Rudi's.

They begin their love-making in the dark room, cut by moonlight beaming through the windows, and the fireplace behind the gyrating Eris atop Rudi, casts them in a dark silhouette to forgo any need of censoring.

The dark corners of room are then illuminated with past scenes of both characters narrating their personal journeys, insecurities, and love for each other, all the while as they make their love in the dark.

As Eris comes to her narrating conclusion though, the rain begins to beat on the window pains harder, and lightning crashes to finally show the pained expression on her face at the conclusion she must make.

>>120145360Holy fuck, this sounds like a goddamm soap opera. Keep in mind that Rudy is supposed to be fucking 12, they can't show this shit on TV, they can just barely even imply that it took place in a book.

Ergo dark silhouettes of the characters on the bed, probably framing as little of their bodies into the picture as possible as most of the darkened corners of the room are lit up from scenes of their past journey together.

>>120145622What part of "underage sex" went over your head? They can't under any circumstance depict it as vividly as you want them to. The absolute best you can hope for is an anime retconning Eris and Rudy into being the same age, making them 16 when the deed happens and an immediate pan to the moon/fireplace/whatever. Mirai Nikki could get away with it, but those were different times and the characters were older. Don't wish for the impossible.Take your housewife porn-esque fanfiction bullshit elsewhere.

>>120153958Yeah, it's as spoilerish as the rest, showing Lilia and Aisha there, as well as showing Ruijerd leaving.The only omitted parts are things regarding Zanoba/Pax, as well as muh suffering (Eris & Orsted)

>>120144717>5 seasons anime & 3 movies>the 5 seasons cover the original story from the novel>the first movie cover the story of Paul when he was an adventure to his last moment>the 2nd movie cover the whole story from the diary>the 3rd movie is about Orsted I can already imagine myself crying like a bitch watching the first 2 movies

>>120144717>>120156113See, a good MT Anime CAN happen. It's just unlikely to, because it would require the studio to dump a lot of money on it, which is a risk.Otherwise, the anime would either be half-baked, rushed as fuck, or worst; not follow the LN at all.

>>120156513>because it would require the studio to dump a lot of money on itWhat are you talking about? Majority of the studios are paid by sponsors/producers to animate something, and while there's exception, it's improbably that it would be the case.

Though, I guess it's because they just want to see everything properly visualized and animated. In any case, us talking about it on some gaijin anonymous image board won't really do anything to help or not, so it's just dillusions is all.

>>120157950If it gets licensed in English, BT will take shit off their site.Ah, well, that shouldn't really be a problem so long as translators continue translating within their personal space (either on pastebin, or a blog) and just have links posted here for updates.It might make it more difficult to find for others, but screw them.

That said, the only part I hate about an LN getting licensed is the dreadful localization that'll probably happen, such as trying to throw in slang no one understands, or changing the units to imperial.

>>120159761They do. If it's picked up by an American company, they are writing the translation for Americans. Thus, they generally localize terms and phrases to fit. This includes changing units to those recognized by Americans.

The part where Rudy was comparing the currency of the MT world to yen would likely be changed to Dollars, for example.Kilometers, meters, and such will likely be changed to Miles, feet and yards. Centimeters would be kept, only because we also use centimeters along with inches. (same probably goes for milimeters)

>>120160158It's just because of the units we use, for some arbitrary reason.When it comes to small-scale measurments, the units we generally use are Milimeters, Centimeters, Inches, Feet, Yards.Milimeters and Centimeters are only there because we don't have anything smaller than inches to use.

>>120160237I used centimeters growing up, along with inches, when it came to measuring things that can't be measured neatly in inches. That's how it was in my school. The rulers and yard-sticks we have also measure centimeters, along with inches. (At least the one's I've seen.)

>>120160018>The part where Rudy was comparing the currency of the MT world to yen would likely be changed to DollarsI actually wouldn't care if they removed that altogether. Comparing modern currency to another world's with a completely different system of values is stupid.

Like how the price of water will be higher, saying shit like '1 gold is worth 10,000 yen' is fucking stupid. Trying to word it as 'Blank gold is worth 100,000 yen, which you can live off for 1 month' is better but still stupid. You might as well just say 'You can live off of Blank gold for 1 month' and drop the pointless yen comparison.

>>120145360TV version of this will never happen. They'll probably change the scene to something like Eris asking to sleep with Rudy, talk about their journey, Rudy resolves himself to support Eris forever or confess and then Eris leaving him in the morning.

Part of me wants someone to spoil what will happen next in this series

also what's the deal with strengthening magic in series like these? It's like the all around god-mode cheat, Rudi didn't even get his power armor until he was 20 and with the help of his friends (and Hitogami), these guys instantly learn magic that can make them take out powerful warriors when they are 5.

>>120174826My impression was that she didn't know at first, but figured it out pretty quickly after.That said, again, she didn't put off a smug atmosphere until later. At least not until the scene where she revealed she already knew who he was.

>>120174899You could always try ぼくは異世界で付与魔法と召喚魔法を天秤にかける (I compare Buff Magic with Summon Magic in Another World).It has a pretty detailed RPG-based magic system, and the protag even has strengthening magic. He tests it early on by punching a tree, and it turns out the buff magic still isn't good enough to make a tree budge.

Only complaint with the series is how condensed it is. Entire thing takes place over 4 days so far and it has so much fucking happening in it that it's ridiculous.The three girls on the right are the main heroines, but the publication might have made the left girl into one as well.

>>120175389>>I'm sure a 6 year old can learn weather changing magicNah, Roxy only thought that because Rudeus was something like a genius with magic.That said, it was easy for Rudeus because he had a massive reserve of Magic Power, and was familiar with natural phenomena.

People I want to see "Osted a must" and looking damn good to or killing Rudy with Eris watching in maximum despire, Rina and Persiuita stripped and gagged and Zanaba. And Adult anyone I guess but at least they all have pictures alread

>>120176636dont care about Nanahoshi cause shes wearing a mask at that point theres only so many illistrations that could be wasted on unimportant characters like that horse guy.............why not I don't know Hitagamai as he even first meeting him you know hes some important to the story

>>120176366>I compare Buff Magic with Summon Magic in Another WorldCoiling dragon is a good series. It has kinda slow start like Mushoku but that's because, like Mushoku, it start's from when the MC is a kid, though not necessarily a baby.

>>120177566Let's see, we get, by book 2 no less...>OP MC as a magician>OP MC as a warrior>Ancient bloodline that the MC's a part of>Said bloodline doesn't activate til MC kills and drinks the blood of a dragon>Expert sculptor (like around book 3 or so)>get's a ring with a 3000 year old badass grandpa figure that was one of the strongest on the continent>Gets a familiar mouse that, when fully grown, could probably outspeed nearly everything on the continent>Truest bros you ever did see in fiction by Volume 2Is this good enough?

Really looking forward to the illustrations in 6. Orsted finally having a face will be awesome. Also as >>120176583said Rina and Pursena too. Though I guess that will be vol 7. Always wondered. Was Pursena 's "fakku" supposed o be "fuck" ? Still sad neither of them got into the harem. Was actually looking forward to that. Especially the most recent scene.

>>120178726he was a bit naive in the beginning, but even then, if you did something to piss him off, he wasn't above beating a person senseless to make sure no one ever did that again. And this was in both physical and magical combat.

When he finally lost his naivety after nearly being killed by a pretty face in the wilderness, he goes outright brutal to anyone who pisses him off.

Key point to remember, he's descended from a line of warriors that have no problem slaughtering their enemies, fit with an heirloom sword called Slaughterer.

>>120176829>That grammarWhy do I see so many Mushoku-fags who can't into english? I can't tell if they're all underaged or foreigners walking into english discussion boards. In either case, learn fucking english.

That aside, there weren't many important characters in Volume 3 anyways, and none that weren't given an illustration. Even Hitogami was described as being covered by some kind of mosaic, so it'd be pointless.

>>120178909I really have a soft spot for those two. They're both such awesome comedic relief usually perfectly placed when the series needs a break. I really hope they don't end up married to some unnamed guy somewhere. After all the time together they deserve to be part of the harem damnit. >>120179042I understand the euphemism but, aren't they both confirmed virgins? Then again I know Pursena said she's fine with Rudy doing whatever as long as he gives her meat.

>>120179482>Rudy's Harem = Sylphy, Roxy, Eris>Eris' Harem = Rudy, Rinia, PursenaJust by this alone, they should all just get in one massive orgy and find out what happens later. Oh, and throw Ariel into the mix as well.

>>120179444>Probably because she knew he wouldn't do anything (I think..)Yeah, they freaked out when he popped a boner near them, but they still submit to people stronger than themSee, Eris in bed with Rudy handing him the cat one

>>120179482Which brings up an interesting point.Is Eris in Rudy's harem? Or is Rudy in Eris's?Or is it both ways?Do harems act the same way as families, where if they interlock, they become haremette-in-laws?If so, then wouldn't that mean Rinia and Pursena are already in Rudy's harem?

>>120179677>Oh, and throw Ariel into the mix as well.Yes. An Aisha couldn't hurt too.

>>120179482I know Eris tried but I don't think Eris cracking there ribs counts as a reward for them. (Still unsure why Rudy even had to heal Pursena. she can do it herself) >>120179677Eris wouldn't even try with Sylphy(I think it was Sylphy) I don't hink she'd ever participate in that. She did seem intent on watching Rudy and Rina though...

>>120179919>theirI need sleep. Sigh. >>120179880Despite how much both Lila and Aisha seem to try I doubt Rudy would ever do anything with either. Aisha has definitely been trying for a long time now, and it seems the only chance in hell she has is if they somehow encounter another succubus. I'm surprised the author hasn't used that as another way to shoe horn in another harem member yet actually. It almost looked like Elinalise would be joining for a bit there. If she wouldn't have been as experienced as she was I'm sure it would have happened.

>>120180271By trying I had meant the event where she tossed her in a negligee and dragged rudy to the bed and said had fun(though it seemed she still planned on watching) I haven't read 238 yet though as I was waiting till translations for everything were out. Something to look forward to at least. >>120180364Wasn't the description she was begging him to heal her or something? I thought it implied she was able to talk. It also really has to suck being a daki for Eris. Did Rudy ever become able to use chantless healing, barrier, and detox? I don't recall it ever touching on that again..

>>120180590Even if she could talk, she'd still need to give out the incantation correctly.It's the same reason Pursena and Rinia didn't use magic in their fight; even if they can talk, it's difficult to say long chant during such activities.

>>120160365> the units we generally use are Milimeters, Centimeters, Inches, Feet, Yards.Makes me wonder, how do generally use units.For example, how do you pay for stuff?"That would be 20 dollars sir""Ok, here are 12 dollars, 321 euro-cents, 2 Pesos and a half a pack of smockes."

Reviewer here. Sorry, for my choice of words that got you triggered. Haha.

Anyway, I feel that it is a male power fantasy because Ainz is overpowered from the get go. Level capped at 100. He also has a harem as well as a legion of absolutely loyal subordinates. He doesn't need to conquer any waifu, they are just waiting for spread their legs as soon as he said the word. He can't die, he has tons of pay to win items that can revive the dead if he wants to. Nothing risk, nothing gained. It's fun to see what he does with all that, but I can only see Overlord as a shallow power fantasy.

>>120182405While Daybreak on Hyperion has neat use of magic in warfare, I just couldn't stand its cringeworthy as fuck dialogue. I don't believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster/rebellious atheism ever reached much popularity in Japan. All the female characters speak like valley girls as well.

Also the characterization felt mediocre in many ways.

Kaede's supposedly Russian/Japanese, but he/she didn't even feel remotely like one, more like a spazzy American nerd. Does the author actually have such heritage because I really see no reason for this lineage besides the archery thing.

Runelord comes off as slightly autistic, but is overall sort of decent. He however doesn't have any particular flaws besides being a douche to even out his outstanding prowess in everything else. The douche flaw quickly goes away even since he learns to apologize by the end of the first book.

Also, the genderbending setting seems rather unnecessary. You have magical familiar summoning into a fantasy war setting, but then add genderbending I'm a female now drama. It doesn't seem like there'd be a huge difference if Kaede was just female to start with.

I'd personally just give it a C+. The main characters and the dialogues really do feel unbearable.

The whole assassination plot foiling also felt kind of stupid. You have these covert expert assassination squads, but it takes only slight effort to catch them off guard.

Overlord is not a good substitute simply because it is too short, try Coiling Dragon.

Mushoku Tensei is the height of WN/LN right now. You dun goofed by reading the best first. Everything will feel inferior in some way and you will have a hole in your heart trying to fill the emptiness.

>>120186006Is that true for the storytelling? I think the reason I liked MT so much was because of the depth of the story. It fleshes out every single one of the characters, and the fact that the author obviously knew where the story was going with throwbacks and plot twists to even the very beginning. That's a very hard thing to do without it coming off as "let's reuse this dropped plot point because I have no other ideas" as so many other stories do. I love when a story is well thought out like that. Not to mention I guess since it's the story starts since birth there's a ton of world and character building to do. It actually all makes sense.

>>120186784I can write well and concisely. But I'm lazy AF and don't feel like creating a story. Mostly because I tend to end up focusing on background details a world building more than the actual progression of the story.

>>120186670Are the 32 chapters on BT all that are out? How often does new stuff get release/translated? Having read up to chap230 of MT in 5 days I'm kind of hesitant to start reading it when so little is out. If it's released quickly though it might be tolerable.

31 chapters. 1 per month though the author says he's aiming for 2/month. The chapters are quite long but in good conscience, I have to tell you the wait is terrible because you get an itch after every chapter.

>>120182405For anyone looking for more than one opinion to decide, here's mine from what I've read in the list.

Mother of Learning [A]: Love the troop when it's used for some self-improvement. That and the fact that the plot is still not clear even after many revelations and a pretty complex story makes for a pretty sweet read. Does not touch upon the subject of love, and though there are a few "boy-meets-girl" the MC has no interest in them, though he says that he once had a thing for one of them.

Mushoku Tensei [A+]: Great world building. Terrific character development. Out-of-nowhere events that end up changing the story of the world. Almost every trope is used and it still makes sense in the story.

Overlord [B+]: So far there is too much wish-fulfillment but the world building and character depth presented on the 2 volumes so far hold great potential.

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari - Shieldbro [C+]: Great start. Good progressing. Oversized boring arcs with terrible pacing. I only recommend it to people that want something to marathon, it makes it easier when you sit it through instead of reading a few chapters per time because you get increasingly bored if you don't have the past chapters fresh in your mind.

Re:Monster [D]: Terrible. Even worse than Tate in characters. You barely know who the characters are, later on he has wives but despite the name you don't even know who they are or why they like the MC. Shameless wish-fulfillment.

Some I'd like to add even though they're not japanese:

Legendary Moonlight Sculptor [B+]: Over 20 volumes. A story about a guy trying to make money playing a VRmmo.

Ark [B]: Similar to LMS in the VRmmo, similar to Tate on how the MC is fucked by trusting people.

>>120185820When first introduced she was said to be weak or mediocre but fast and good at parrying blows and dodging. Paul has advanced rank in every sword art style, and every time his abilities were mentioned they were said to be top class, when fighting against monster in the village "his attacks are precise and he looks to be dancing in the battlefield, there is something charming about the way he fights Rudi: 'Damn he is just too cool'". In the battle against the Hydra he was also the only one that could cut the neck of the hydra with a single movement.

>>120190356Why though.A counter is supposed to be something that isn't dependent on force at all, just pure technique, reflex and speed. Rudeus clearly has the speed and reflex considering he dealt with the North Emperor sword attacks, and with his demon-eye things like reflex become kind of pointless.

Touki is after all a power and defense increment using mana, both unnecessary to countering.

I hope when Rudeus inevitably reincarnates or (insert another method for him to live as long as to be able fight Hitogami) he either can wield Touki or develops his Water God Style.

Using summons to fight should be that hard either, he kind of needs some pal to tank for him when he fights without the MK-1

>>120193974Firstly have a shit memory, then all you need to do is wait till you have forgotten it all. Though I wouldn't recommend it, not being able to remember most of the time you spent with your loved ones once they are gone is a pretty bad trade so you can re-read books you liked.

Reading recent chapter of Eris vs Atofe and it stating Eris was about as tall as her and 90 chapters before stating Rudy was nearly taller then her......i thought Eris was still taller then her , any thoughts?

Damn. Just read 234. I knew I should have waited till this block was finished. Really hope it's not going the route it's trying really hard to foreshadow. I expected it at one point sure, but not from Sylphy, and not so soon. Cliffhanger is murder.

When i first started reading this, I expected generic shit fantasy... Not many things meet my retarded high expectations that I deteste. But it was 100x better than what I expected. It's always sad for good things to come to an end whether if it's catching up to progress or seeing the ending. vol 23. when.

I;m the only one in these threads that really likes LMS...Maybe it's the Jew in me acting up.Maybe it's just that the terrible person that I am I see myself in Weed.Or, Maybe, it's just that same sense of wonder I once had when playing WoW a decade ago.

>>120207674The deal is He meets this group on his return trip from training mountain, he helps them because of a girl. They fall in love and go out, after a couple of months she becomes unresponsive and avoids him. Dude believes in her and keeps seeking her only to have his heart broken one day when he sees her on a date with her childhood friend, who he also saved. He snaps and destroys the present he bought her and becomes unresponsive for a while but carves his greatest masterpiece from this experience which also boosts his power.

At this point you think everything is over between them, but the author writes revenge pretty thoroughly. MC has a super rich bro who decides to ruin childhood friends family just by not doing business with them anymore. At this point childhood family see the girlfriend as omen. After some while the masterpiece sculpture of Mc gets auctioned which looks like Gf. Childhood family tries to buy it but they get outbid by best girl who shames gf afterwards. Childhoods family is also in a huge criminal scandal and Mc helps them a bit and gets invited to their marriage.

At the wedding mc bros shames them further. At this point I thought nothing could get worse for her, but shortly afterwards her husband gets stomped to death by a huge monster passing through, which is also destruction of most if the city.

There is also another revenge plot with the king which I found to be the highlight of the webnovel.

>>120199489That was before Jawz started releasing barely-edited machine translated turds for chapters every week~month.

LMS wasn't bad up to volume 15 or whatever, but the translators were inconsistent with terminology and certain ones were shit. Also either the author or the translator likes fucking with the series' logic, like Weed's reasoning or being inconsistent with simple shit like the amount of money he has.

Looks like Pink Eye started on 236.The text is hidden till Kaezer finishes 235 (which shouldn't be till later today) so to read what's translated so far, look at the source.

>>120190072No. It was said that blade wasn't long enough to cut through the neck anyways.

>>120190713Touki provides both force and defense. This includes speed. An attack that uses the full potential of Touki would practically NEED to be defended by a counter supported by Touki.Dealing with the North Emperor's attack was thanks to his demon eye, which acted as a substitute for speed and reflex in this case.

If a blade comes down at you, you can parry the blade with your own.If that blade is reinforced by touki, to a very high degree, where it's practically super-human, then you'd need something strong enough to parry that, or you'd need to be fast enough to avoid it.If it's at a speed where a regular human eye can't even see it (like Rudy's full-power Earth Bullet) then I imagine Touki would be required to even dodge it

Hey guys, I just finished chapter 151 after he fought with Atofe, and I'm almost at Turning Point 4. I haven't read any spoiler yet but heard people keep talking about it. Nothing bad gonna happening right? He's gonna go back home and live happily together with his beautiful 2 wives and family right? He also has Hitogami as his secret guardian giving his advice right? I mean what's the worst thing can happen?

>>120209672LMS is just one whacky adventure after another.Coiling Dragon's MC keeps upgrading the pool size he's swimming in and finds that there's still bigger sharks out there. His shit has been handed to him several times as well, not to mention losing the occasional family member.

>>120209672Because it has coherent plot. On the mountain Mc got a sword that sealed a monster king which later unites and leads beasts to invade. Mc doesn't realize for the longest amount of time that he is responsible for the death of millions.

Mc also kills the kings brother in childhood friends house, which he also hides from the king while he gets closer to him in order to assassinate him. He plays it really cool while the childhoods friends family gets suspected of murder and smuggling.

The masterpiece is named 'dream awoken' and looks like the gf. At the gallery everybody sees it and associates the sculptor and gf together instead of him and his soon to be wife. That's why he tries to get rid of it.

He died from being stomped because the invasion was unknowingly caused by Mc and almost everybody dies, monsters are slaughtering and destroying everything. Meanwhile judgment day is happening , Mc goes all in on killing the King.

Actually LMS is quite decent in the world building. Its main problem is you feel no attachment to the characters because none of them are developed and the author is frequently telling you what to think.

Regardless, I suggest everybody at least try it (preferably early in light novel reading). It will definitely be enjoyable to some, and it provides a means of comparison to other novels so you actually know what's good/not.

>>120210654It's not about being open minded. plenty of other anime with equally questionable ideas have popped up.

We've discussed this before. It's about risk. The LN for MT just isn't doing well enough to PROPERLY adapt it into an anime. You can't half-ass it with just a 2-cour anime, with no gaurentee for more seasons.

>>120181123>For example, how do you pay for stuff?I'll give you 40 dollars and this old high nickle 350 block.

But no, that shit comes out of the big push in the late 80's early 90's by the US education system to switch to metric completely. Parents complained they couldn't understand their children's homework among other things and it was given up on. So if you went to school in the 90's in the US you more then likely go standard and metric stuff shoved in your face at the same time.

>>120213788Hmmmm....... Think she has a slight case of vegeta sydrom........In reality she has the skills and destructive force needed to win but her opponents tend to literally regenerate back to life with what would be considered death blow

I don't see her getting any less important, her battles are so high speed that it ends with a victor and the defeated in a single move. She either wins or lose in the opening attacks. She did cut off Atofe's jugular, but that doesn't work on an immortal. Ending with an injury in the shoulder for her is a minor sacrifice compared to almost getting decapitated for Atofe. With healing magic, it is a non-issue for Eris to be a bit reckless, she's the mad sword king after all. Sadly, it is an unfair fight against someone who doesn't die. Rudeus wouldn't had won either if he didn't gets his Votom out.

Back to point Eris is in much need of leveling up as Rudy has been fucking certifed by Osted himself for Emperor class everything while its been slightly emplied Eris strength wise is at Emperor but skill wise has much to go

>Is the translation done well?Debatable at many parts. Like how early on, the translator translated the Japanese equivalent of quotation marks as brackets.If there's one thing MT's lacked, it's solid and consistent translators.

The problem with Re:Monster is that it's just a summary of things. The parts of the WN that's been turned into summaries are literally summaries of summaries.

It's great when you read the tales from PoVs of the side cast, like when female knights encampment gets wrecked by a black ogre riding on a fucking bear shouting "don't kill the hot women, capture them".

>water demigod dungeon was a fucking snorefest>latest webnovel chapter is also a snorefest consisting of essentially the sameI don't even know what the fuck the MC is thinking as he's pretty much setting up himself to be the final boss. In your usual JRPG it's "the demon lord is awakening all nearby monsters has grown more aggressive and numerous" on re:monster is oh I'll go take ownership of all these dungeons and then add 20 dick ass instakill traps in the deeper floors plus buff the stats of the endfloor boss / add extra bosses.

>>120219245but still, need to keep reading because the filler shit training arcs won't last forever and eventually we'll get to the points where

rou stomps over the empire and makes cumsluts out of their hero princess knight saviours, stomps the demon empire and takes another throne (people in the labrynth town in demon empire full of ogres and whatnot were all bowing down and worshipping him when he was there in his fierce diety form anyways) and probably starts pissing on the demigods and whatnot

I caught up with this and I'm so hungry for more. I really like the way he describes training for magic. Sometimes I wish the MC would just train for shit longer. He has a teacher that knows how to create shit from nothing, what are you doing nigger, get on that. I also wish I can find english books that do the same thing, but all I can find are long series that try too hard to be like Game of Thrones.

>>120223009No, his teacher doesn't create shit from nothing.She only "teleports" matters that exist somewhere next to her. She wants to be able to create matter from nothing but she has yet to accomplish it.

Also, I feel like that "terrible teacher" that he has and apparently is the master of the basic techniques is probably more powerful than he knows.

>>120225285Possible, but I doubt. It's not like the concept of a mage wearing a grey robe is unique or even uncommon, the name could be just coincidence.

A good way to make sure is to know in what year was Coiling Dragon released, considering that the novel is already completed with 21 volumes, have a sequel also finished with 18 volumes (not sure what was the one that came first) chances are that it was finished before MT even started.

>>120226037I feel Rudeus will never think of himself as too powerful, but just as he can treat Rinia, Pursena and Luke as extremely weak and slow, he'll probably end up treating the likes of Demon Lords as small game eventually.

>>120226102If there's one thing Rudy's family lacks, it's confidence in themselves.Rudy is afraid to pick fights because he doesn't think he can beat half the people he fights without trying to kill them, and he won't try to kill them if they can actually die.Sylphy is passive as fuck.Roxy thinks she's unattractive and downplays her own worth.And Eris is only confident when it comes to fighting, which she tries to turn everything in to.

>>120226649>he barely wins every single of one.Can you honestly say Rudy was trying to kill any of the people he fought?Like with Randolph, we already know Rudy can summon fucking nukes and exploding rocks that even if you block or deflect them, they explode in your face.

He always tries to take the non-lethal route. If he was better at lightning, he'd be able to do non-lethal takedowns much easier.

>>120226737Or you're an idiot. Eris purposefully used techniques which would be able to surprise Orsted and deliberately trained solely for that purpose.

Not everything is about powerlevels and swordrankings. With the Phoenix Elegant sword that reduces touki and a technique trained tens of thousands of times to move the wrist faster than someone could move the arm, of course she could cut Orsted.

But that's it, everything after was fruitless and Orsted only let it happen because he was underestimating her worth, against Reida Orsted attacked non-stop. Against Eris he spent several seconds studying what she was doing, and didn't purposely kill her either.This is probably because Eris is supposed to join the knights of Asura and help Ariel rise to the throne on the timeline Orsted knows of.

>>120184246I agree with you about most things, still liked the series a whole bunch which leads to me making this post but agreed that it is definitely overrated which I believe contributes to people being harsh on the series.Sorta /a/ standard behavior.Who gives a fuck about the gender bender thing though, author was just trying to bend stereotypes and be "original" about how reincarnation does not imply you stay the same sex. Gimmicks are one of the most important things to grab attention, and as you say it stops being relevant after the first volume as MC accepts he is a girl now. Stop being all lit 101 about how everything needs deep meaning and live and let live. Also, if she was a female to start with there would have been romantic drama/filler that wouldn't have been as believable. Believable here meaning Seo-tier cliched garbage that force me to drop the series.

A better English webnovel would be "Worm". Series is complete, as much content as six full length novels (my mobi file is 6 MB with no pictures), and there is a possible sequel in the future. It is capeshit, but in a good way. You might think it is just one of the many shitty superhero web series around but apparently it was the original one that spawned the inferior derivatives. Gets pretty good once MC stops being a bitch which happens early on. Powers are amazingly original as well, though she might just be copying DC and Marvel I wouldn't know. MC is also underpowered compared to the top dogs as her power is controlling bugs and you have people like superman in this series (not silverage superman). Lastly MC is a villain, not a hero. She is also a girl.

Only a fifth of the way through as of now but enjoying it immensely.

>>120227537No, it is written like a bullet point of shit he does. Mostly about what he ate and what power he gets. Disappointing series. Not recommended.

>>120227537>>120228087Oh, read that wrong. Not RE:Monster but Reincarnation First Monster. I read that and even keep up to date but it is really not that good. Tryhard darkness and edgy chuuni shit. Every paragraph it has to be reminded about how dark and emotionless MC is. Also author threw in obvious retcons. All in all though it is one of the better series on royalroad as it actually has correct English and it is fun to see what stupid shit he does next. Could have been much better if author knew it was better to show instead of tell and stop pushing the crawling in my skin stuff. Go ahead and read it if you like this sort of garbage like me.

>>120227001Still think we need to see more action on Eris as remeber Paul and Elizeine were S ranked adventures that just mowed down monsters to shreds beaiftully at just advanced, image what Eris could do when not constantly facing kings to gods all the time

>>120228771Try going through this: https://bato.to/forums/topic/19625-where-can-i-find-recommendations/Some decent series in the "transported" category but I can not think of any reincarnation series from infancy.Keep in mind that any quality control has long left the building for that thread. I would say, even without the royalroad garbage, that 95% of the stuff listed is shit.>>120228897That is not really the same reincarnation as /a/ means in my opinion.

>>120144584read this and got bored then Orsted ripping Rudi's heart happen,got interested again. School Arc was normal then Sylphy arc got dragged way too long,but legitimately put a smile on my face when childhood friend won,then dungeon rescue arc happen, got a bit sad about what happen, kinda cringe a bit when Roxy seemingly let Rudi have comfort sex but kinda understood a bit on how Rudi is feeling. Then diary arc, where every single tears rolled in front of my eyes and how stupid both Eris and Rudi for not unferstanding their love for each other, Slyphy getting killed,Roxy getting magic crystal aids and Rudi being broken and pathetic. Orsted round 2 with magic armor Rudi getting beaten to shit and prostrating to save his family was great.Then Gisu being a shit and telling me not to ever trust monkeys. Then later arcs the Roxy destruction holy shit. Then to the present chapters getting interesting.

>>120161670>TV version of this will never happen. They'll probably change the scene to something like Eris asking to sleep with Rudy, talk about their journey, Rudy resolves himself to support Eris forever or confess and then Eris leaving him in the morning.no. it will fade to a magical dragon or dolphins or something.

>>120185820no... paul was a rare hybrid swordsman, advanced in all types (Water God, North God and Sword God styles), in reality by the time he dies he probably is close to saint class in all 3

to put Eris in perspective, at the age of 15 she already was saint class in Sword God Style, and by the time she was 20 she was King class in Sword God (likely able to reach emperor, or even god if she was willing to try) as well judged a MASTER of the style by the sword god (which means there is no technique left for her to perfect). Furthermore she ranks saint class in North God style, and Advanced in Watergod style

i know next volume will be a battle royal. but i'm pretty sure if rudy went solo he could wipe out most of the force gathered against him with a few spells.

If there is one thing that was made clear in orsted's fight with both rudy and later the water god, it's that he's a beast on a different plain from pretty much everyone else. That rudy was able to do so much damage to him BEFORE training with orsted, and leveling up imensely in skill (and he did too... look at how he tanked Aofe, someone Puragus couldn't deal with unless she was weakened first) and before that the knights in milis.

he's reaching another level of overpowered, and frankly. i don't think he needs much more then the death god and eris to beat down the whole gathered fighting force (i know he'll bring aofe and likely his friends and likely orsted anyway, but he really doesn't need any of them... the other force would only be troublesome in close range. an open field and surprise and rudy could wipe them mostly out)
